FWIW, I don't really check the QO thread before doing the file, only after in putting together the yes/no list for the BWD tables. So call-up eligible guys are assumed to be kept, and aren't manually released from teams. But owners are free to release these guys on their own.

(The mechanics of this are that the game will release anyone without a contract who has 5 years, 0 days of service time. For call-up guys, they typically have 4 years and change. In very rare cases where a player was carried all of their first season but stayed below the eligibility threshold they will be released when they shouldn't be. Much more commonly a player will have appeared in parts of five seasons, but appeared on the roster intermittently, which keeps their OOTP service time under 5 years, when by our rules they should be in the FA pool. Those players are manually released, but they are now identified by comparing the output from Ron's QO script with my BWD script.)
